Over the weekend, Nicole Kidman received the American Film Institute Life Achievement Award at a gala in Los Angeles.
“Extra’s” Terri Seymour spoke with Nicole, who was there with husband Keith Urban and their teenage daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith.
She said, “I brought my whole family with me, and they've flown from all over the world. I’m really sort of soaking it in.”

Kidman’s sister and all of her nieces and nephews were in attendance, too!
Nicole noted. “Mom is not here, but she's gonna be watching the show on a livestream. I love technology — thank you. My cousin is with her in Australia.”
Calling herself an “an introvert,” Nicole stressed the importance of enjoying the celebratory moment and just letting it happen.
Kidman commented, “I think it's the highest honor. I mean, it's incredible, ’cause when I looked at the list, I was like, ‘What?’”
It was the first time the award has gone to an Australian in 49 years!
Kidman also gave an update on “Big Little Lies,” saying, “Reese and I were talking about it yesterday and we're moving ahead, and you will be seeing it. Not soon, but soon enough.”
The series is likely to return “next year.” She added, "That's okay. We're in this year, it's already May!"
Her show “Nine Perfect Strangers” is also coming back for a “crazy” Season 2. Nicole teased, “Hang on. And we have the most magnificent new cast. We've got a whole array of brilliant actors from all over the world, so it's very global. It's pretty crazy. We like crazy."
Nicole reflected on making her first movie at 14 years old, saying, “I had a dream of working around the world and I knew I wanted to act. I knew I wanted to act when I was 6, 7 years old. I didn’t know I would have the opportunity to do it… I just pursued it and pursued it.”
Kidman made the right career move, ending up with an Oscar, two Emmys, and 6 Golden Globes!
She revealed, “My mama wrote me this beautiful card that she sent over with my sister saying she's been through it all with me. The phone calls, the devastation, the rejection. The highs… from the Cannes Film Festival when ‘Moulin Rouge’ suddenly was a massive hit... to the Academy to the Golden Globes to everything. She's been there — and my pop — every step of the way… So, she put that in the card. And I remember there was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears, ’cause it all looks like it was so easy, and it so was not.”
